i didn't downvote you, regardless internet points don't matter.

you're not wrong, and i largely agree with what you've said, because i didn't actually say a lot of the things your comment assumes.

the most efficient way i can describe what i mean is this:

LLMs (this is NOT AI) can, and will, replace more and more of us. however, there will never, ever be a time where there will be no human overseeing it because we design software for humans (generally), not for machines. this requires integral human knowledge, assumptions, intuition, etc.

LLMs (this is NOT AI)

I disagree. When I was studying AI at college 20+ years ago we were also talking about expert systems which are glorified if/else chains. Most experts in the field agree that those systems can also be considered AI (not ML though).

You may be thinking of GAI or Universal AI which is different. I am a believer in the singularity (that a machine will be as creative and conscious as a human), but that’s a matter of opinion.

I didn’t downvote you

I was using “you” more towards the people downvoting me, not you directly. You can see the accounts who downvoted/upvoted, btw.

Edit: and I assumed the implication of your comment was that “people who code are safe”, which is a stretch I was answering to. Your comment was ambiguous either way.

Wow. Thanks for the advice. I guess that’s just Lemmy showing me the door. Good luck with your community here.
